Gas phase electronic spectra of pure
carbon cations generated by
laser vaporization of graphite in a supersonic jet and cooled to below
10 K and tagged with helium atoms in a cryogenic trap are presented.
The measured C

to 14, are believed to be monocyclic ring structures and possess an
origin band wavelength that shifts linearly with the number of carbon
atoms, as recently demonstrated through N

tagging by Buntine
et al. (

astronomical searches for them in diffuse clouds by absorption spectroscopy.
Endoluminal brachytherapy during the course of esophageal cancer treatment can be safely applied and results in good functional outcomes regarding dysphagia with low rates of severe toxicities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
